Mac Mail Gmail/Priority Inbox

[CowboyTurbo]

I started my Mac mail application today (set to connect to my gmail accounts through IMAP), and all my mail that was in my inbox is GONE.

I don't know if my gmail accounts were hacked or if their implementation of "Priority Inbox" just trashed all my messages older than 35 days.

I've changed my password and disabled Priority Inbox.

Does anyone have any ideas about how I can recover my e-mails?

Are they still showing up in the web interface? What kind of account is it (POP/IMAP)?

 

[CowboyTurbo]

no, they are not showing up through the web interface~ through IMAP.

Are they in the All Mail folder?

 

[CowboyTurbo]

no, they're not there either. They're literally GONE.

no, they're not there either. They're literally GONE.

You're probably out of luck then, unless they're in a GMail-created folder somehow.

Agreed. Without having access to your account, we can have no idea where they might have gone.

Try going into Google Labs>Gmail Labs> Enable Advanced IMAP support.

I checked the setting on this, and it's been enabled this whole time.

Unfortunately, I think I'm S-O-L on this one.
